A Russellville man on parole for first-degree murder is being held on a $200,000 bond after a home visit turned up several illegal items.

According to testimony from a Russellville Police Department (RPD) investigator, the Department of Community Corrections asked for RPD assistance in conducting a search as part of a home visit for Glenn Taylor, 38. Taylor was previously convicted of murder in Pope County and was released on parole in 2005.

The search turned up 3.9 pounds of marijuana, according to the officer. The substance was found in several gallon-size plastic bags in various parts of the house, as well as a large smoking device found behind some children’s cereal boxes. In addition, officers found two digital scales and a large amount of cash. Some of the cash was in the house and some was on Taylor’s person, according to the officer.

A Ruger handgun, reported stolen, was found hidden in a toy box in a child’s room, the officer said.

Taylor said during his bond hearing his name was not on the lease of the house where the items were found, and there was no proof he owned the items confiscated.

“I’m not no drug salesman,” he said. “I don’t sell drugs.”

Taylor is being held on suspicion of the felony offenses of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia, felon in possession of a firearm and several misdemeanor offenses, including endangering the welfare of a minor.
